This year I was fortunate enough to be asked by the local community theater, the Lakewood Playhouse, to create posters for the six shows that would make up their 75th Anniversary Season. The managing Art Director and friend, John Munn, also had a unique idea. He wanted me to design the series so that when placed end to end they created one large continuous mural image that would not be revealed until the last poster was released. Well, today is that day. All 6 posters have been released and now I can reveal the entire project. I will be at the Lakewood Playhouse on SATURDAY, JUNE 14th to sign all six posters & Limited Edition Prints made specifically for the signing! If you are in Tacoma please join me and stay to see Spamalot. It should be a fantastic performance.

A few weeks ago I received an email from a fan of White Wolf's original Changeling the Dreaming RPG asking if I had any original art from my time as an artist on that series that I would be willing to sell to her as a gift to her fiancé as a wedding present. I was pretty touched that A.) someone would want to give my art to anyone as a gift, and that B.) by art would be part of two people's special union. (Full disclosure, I was not her first choice but luckily for me Rebecca Guay was too expensive) I was so touched in fact that I offered to create for her a completely new original painting in the style of my old black and white interior art for Changeling the Dreaming to use as a gift instead. She agreed and I got to work. Below are some work in progress shots along with the finished painting.

It is a shot of both of their characters engaged in a scene she described for me from their campaign. The finished piece is water color, gauche and acrylic on watercolor paper. It has been years since I painted anything like this and this was a really special and touching project to get to work on.
